Patent number: 11713503Abstract: A method for forming a substrate with a multi-layered, flexible, and anti-scratch metal oxides protective coating being deposited onto the substrate is provided in the present invention, wherein the top most layer of the coating comprises Al2O3 or a mixture thereof such that the top most layer acts as an anti-scratching layer. The multi-layered, flexible and anti-scratch metal oxides protective coating also retains the flexibility of the underlying substrate.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2019Date of Patent: August 1, 2023Assignees: Hong Kong Baptist University, Cathay Photonics LimitedInventors: Kok Wai Cheah, Wing Yui Lam, Yu Wai Chan, Shing Chi Tse, Suet Ying Ching, Hoi Lam Tam

Patent number: 11535926Abstract: A method to transfer a layer of harder thin film substrate onto a softer, flexible substrate. In particular, the present invention provides a method to deposit a layer of sapphire thin film on to a softer and flexible substrate e.g. quartz, fused silica, silicon, glass, toughened glass, PET, polymers, plastics, paper and fabrics. This combination provides the hardness of sapphire thin film to softer flexible substrates.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2019Date of Patent: December 27, 2022Assignee: HKBU R&D LICENSING LIMITEDInventors: Kok Wai Cheah, Wing Yui Lam, Hoi Lam Tam

Patent number: 11028471Abstract: A composition of AR layer that is aimed to match the refractive index of the underlying substrate e.g. glass, chemically strengthened glass, plastics etc., so as maximum light is transmitting through it. For a device with an sapphire film for anti-scratch protection, because sapphire has a different refractive index to that of the substrate, therefore existing AR layer will not function as well as it should; not only the transmitted light is reduced in quantity, its transmitted range will be changed such that imaging or display color is compromised. Therefore an integrated AR with sapphire film with the top most AR layer as Al2O3 which also acts as anti-scratching layer will eliminate this problem. This claim involves replacing one of the materials for AR layer is Al2O3 such that the top most AR layer as Al2O3 which also acts as anti-scratching layer.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2017Date of Patent: June 8, 2021Assignee: HKBU R&D LICENSING LIMITEDInventors: Kok Wai Cheah, Wing Yui Lam, Yu Wai Chan
